The funding available for member-sponsored projects are limited, and there is no guarantee that funding can be secured for a particular project. In addition, while project funding may be recommended in the House-passed version of an appropriations bill, only those projects included in the final, enacted version of the bill will be funded.

In compliance with House Appropriations Committee rules and in order to make the process as transparent as possible, I am posting all of my earmark requests on this website.
For your information, below is a list of the earmarks I requested from the House Appropriations Committee for Fiscal Year 2011, categorized by applicable Appropriations Bill.
